 <h3>What is face?</h3>
  <p>
    FACE here means Fast Communication Engine, a network library which
    enable developers to write network related code faster.
  </p>

 <h3>What it is good for?</h3> 
   <h4>Language independent RPC description language</h4>
     <p>
       Internet communication is normally based on RPC message, with
       FACE, developers are able to describe RPC in simple function
       form, and FACE will generate the C++ source/header
       files. Theoretically no socket related code is needed in the
       project.
     </p>
     
   <h4>Universal code for Linux/Win32</h4>
     <p>
       FACE is based
       on <a href="http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/">libevent</a>,
       and the separately wrote the network code for Linux and Win32,
       application could be deployed on those platforms without
       modification. 
     </p>

  <h3>How does it works?</h3>
     <p>
       Please refer to <a href="tutorial.html">FACE tutorial</a>. A
       basic ping/pong sample could be finished in 5 minutes, at most.
     </p>
     <p>
       Or directly dive into the /sample directory
       in <a
       href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=214773">latest
       release.</a>
